Mine does it too. I have 2" control arms and a 1" spring, and it rubs everytime I U-turn(which is a lot in my city) I'm getting skinnier rims, and I hope that will clear it up.

its cuz the end links are too long for if its dropped. (what attach the sway bar to the arms) I dont know if skinnier rims would help, sh8t anyway, the stock rims are pretty damn skinny. i'm assuming u guys have stock rims. i had to take the sway bar off cuz i couldn;t stand it and it messed up the inside of the rims.
the best way i found to get rid of the problem is to get bigger rims. (of course, if u can or want to). i have NO problems with it with my 18s; 17s would prolly work too. i thought about cutting the end links and welding em back shorter but never tried it. it might work, if u dont want to, or can't, get bigger rims. hope this helps. Peace

I am running a 2" front drop on an aftermarket sway bar with R/T rims (9"). I have no rubbing problems.
I do not think cutting the sway bar links is the route to go. I don't know how that will affect your suspension's geometry.
I can't believe you removed your sway bar. I removed mine for a couple days when I was in the middle of my drop and I thought I was going to die. Had the same characteristics as a small boat. Slushbox.
Maybe this is with the rim heigh more than the width. What size rims do you all have?

Hotchkis
I've done some very hard body rolls in it too where if I were to rub, I would have.
Or I have just never noticed!
